[Margaret Pilkington]

being on benefits should not be more lucrative than working.
It traps people into the benefits culture...they won't come off benefits if they see it as not 'being worth their while'....but it is Ok for the tax payer to fund their lifestyle.

I begrudge the tax taken out of my pension to pay for people to have a better lifestyle than me.
And please don't read into that that I look at what other people have, and want the same.....I don't. I don't care what materialistic things other people have - unless it is my money(taxes) that is paying for it.
